This thesis by Elina Ramsell explores how information and communication technology (ICT) can enable new forms of network collaboration, known as co-production, between government and citizens for more effective crisis and emergency response. The work focuses on an end-user perspective, highlighting the involvement of citizen volunteers in delivering responses despite their non-specific competence and affiliation. It identifies opportunities like high engagement from volunteers and challenges such as integration and privacy issues. The research includes case studies, semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and document reviews. The intended audience includes practitioners in local and national agencies and researchers in crisis response, information systems, and public administration.
